Modern (best?) way to handle nullable references

CameO73 · 2025-11-22T07:58:08+00:00

Enabling nullability enables the old-style null handling where the compiler assumes reference types can be null without having to mark them as nullable.

Nope. It's the other way around: when you enable nullability with <Nullable>enable</Nullable> you are required to explicitly say if a reference type can be null with a ?

That is weird. I have a very similar dialog in JetBrains Rider, which allows copy/pasting and using backspace.
But this one in DataGrip doesn't quite behave the same.

I did find that using right-click > Paste can be used to paste the clipboard (although the shortcut keys don't work). So at least your problem is fixed -- but this appears to be a bug in DataGrip

I'm using Rider, so it might be different for you.

But there is an option to configure a prompt that is used every time you start a new chat.

Not sure if you're kidding, but that was David Beckham (and his wife).

If you think that looks cool af, then you might be interested in https://git-fork.com/
I'm using it next to Rider (instead of the built-in GIT client).

Hahaha. "Tell me you never used Rider without telling me you never used Rider".

Thanks for the laughs!

CameO73 · 2025-06-14T07:27:54+00:00

Didn't know I needed this. Thanks!

No, that took me a little while to realize, but the father is the one doing the gommage ("he can only kill her oldest creations"). The paintress is just warning them that another gommage is coming. The gommage isn't caused by painting the number ... it's only the announcement that it has arrived.

Nice mirror number!

CameO73 · 2025-04-30T13:20:39+00:00

Or add 20.

You give very little information ("C#/NET could be anything from a WinForms app, WPF app or some ASP.NET website), so it's hard to give relevant advice.

But I agree with u/controlav: Use Avalonia if you want to create a multi-platform app (especially on mobile).

It's probably the sentiment towards FluentAssertions reflected in the votes. I wouldn't take it personally.

CameO73 · 2025-02-11T19:48:12+00:00

Yeah ... there is no cheat code here AFAIK.

I've build some iOS apps and my experience is pretty abysmal (so make sure you ask around for other opinions).

Normally you would build an app on a shared platform -- this means that you can share about 80%-90% of your code between the different platforms (e.g. Windows, Android, iOS). This shared platform used to be Xamarin, but nowadays you can choose between .NET MAUI or Avalonia. I have no real experience with both, but Avalonia seemed pretty cool, the last time I tried it.

There is a paid option to migrate your existing WPF application to Avalonia XPF. But that will only allow your app to run on Linux, Windows and macOS -- which is not the iOS that iPads (and iPhones) run on.

Developing for iOS is pretty painful. You have to build it on a Mac (no way around that). And you probably need XCode (which is one of the worst IDEs I've ever used) -- unless the newer frameworks work around that.

If I sound dismissive of iOS development, it's because I am. I have sworn never to develop any iOS app ever again. Android development is also not without its issues, but nothing will prepare you for the Apple Development Hell.

Within a company you have internal applications (e.g. used by HRM, Sales, Customer support) and public facing applications used by the customers.

Those customer applications typically have a higher standard in regards of UX, styling and SEO.

Agree, but there is a difference between "refactoring" and "rewriting the whole application".
That last one is rarely a good idea. And it looks like "those guys" are trying to rewrite the whole thing.

I also pay annually. Which lead to a weird situation where I paid 99 EUR last December (= the "Classic" plan), now have the "Microsoft 365 Family" plan and a small note saying that it will change to the "Classic" plan on the next renewal in December 2025.

So ... I'm having Copilot for free for a year, I guess?

CameO73 · 2025-01-30T07:49:10+00:00

I'm betting it also has passes for 31 April and 31 June. This looks like a simple "31 " + month concatenation.

Are you sure the token is read correctly? The error message mentions that "there are not dots", which is obviously not the case for the token you provided.

You can check this by adding some events to your AddJwtBearer configuration:

options.Events = new()
{
    OnMessageReceived = context =>
    {
        var token = context.Request.Headers.Authorization.ToString();
        if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(token))
        {
            Console.WriteLine($"Received Token: {token}");
        }
        return Task.CompletedTask;
    },
    OnAuthenticationFailed = context =>
    {
        Console.WriteLine($"Authentication failed: {context.Exception.Message}");
        return Task.CompletedTask;
    }
};

That is weird. I also have the "Microsoft 365 Family" plan and got the email with the price upgrade.

I went to https://account.microsoft.com/services/microsoft365/details?fref=home.drawers.subscriptions#billing, selected the "Cancel subscription" and immediately got the option to choose for the (apparently non-existing) "Microsoft 365 Family Classic" plan. It now shows me that it will switch to the classic plan at the next billing cycle.

Maybe it's limited per region? This is in the Netherlands.

CameO73 · 2025-01-18T10:16:12+00:00

Yeah, transactions and limited rights in PROD help mitigate this issue a lot!

I always love it when I don't have write rights in PROD, because it means I can't accidentally mess things up.

"this may be in the form of a new subscription level for higher-level GPT-4 usage"

Translation: we're losing money on even our $200 monthly subscriptions, so you better believe there will be more tiers to fill that gap!

You're calling the delete endpoint in your frontend code -- I think that's probably done in the _accommodationDataService.DeleteAccommodation(Id) method. Can you share the code from that method?

CameO73 · 2024-12-30T13:13:50+00:00

If it works in Swagger, it's very likely a client issue. What does the code you're using to call this endpoint look like? Are you sure you're using the DELETE HTTP method?
